Thank You For Visiting!

Sometime today, this blog will have had over two million page views. I do realize there are other blogs and websites that have easily surpassed this milestone in a much quicker time. Considering though what the subject matter here typically is, this statistic is amazing. Considering that blogs have been replaced by Facebook and Twitter, this statistic is amazing. Considering that I've never really advertised and I don't sell anything, this statistic is amazing.

I've appreciated meeting so many of you over the years, and I'm grateful that folks stop by to read the posts.

Seriously, we all need to thank you for providing this much-needed resource! And free, to boot! Your blog is one I classify as scholarly, based on your ability to reach back into the old, obscure texts, to delve into the footnotes, to find truth. Have you ever considered compiling some of your key posts into a book? "The True Luther," or something like that? "Dispelling the myths" as a subtitle?

Keep up the good work and thank you for this blog. I've only recently stumbled across it, but now I visit several times a week.

Much appreciated. But maybe you should get a web cite rather than relying on the Wayback machine for works such as https://web.archive.org/web/20140803220107/http://tquid.sharpens.org/Luther_%20canon.htm

"He that has ever so little examined the citations of writers cannot doubt how little credit the quotations deserve when the originals are wanting"

“Let nobody suppose that he has tasted the Holy Scriptures sufficiently unless he has ruled over the churches with the prophets for a hundred years. Therefore there is something wonderful, first, about John the Baptist; second, about Christ; third, about the apostles...“We are beggars. That is true.” - Martin Luther

"It is true that the best apologetics can be given only when the system of truth is well known. But it is also true that the system of truth is not well known except it be seen in its opposition to error."- Cornelius Van Til

"But a most pernicious error widely prevails that Scripture has only so much weight as is conceded to it by the consent of the church. As if the eternal and inviolable truth of God depended upon the decision of men!"- John Calvin

"The Scriptures obtain full authority among believers only when men regard them as having sprung from heaven, as if there the living words of God were heard."- John Calvin

This is the best book available on Sola Scriptura. For Protestants, it will help you understand and defend sola scriptura. For Catholics, this book will help you understand exactly what Protestants mean by sola scriptura, rather than what you think it means. I highly recommend getting this book, it never leaves my desk, and serves as a valuable reference tool.
